Manga Recommendations

Manga about students playing Magic: the Gathering trading card game. A treat for mtg players.

While the scale is drastically different, both manga throw their characters into unprecedented scenarios presented in a tournament setting which leaves them no choice but to try to "survive" - literally in Shuumatsu no Walküre and figuratively in Blue Lock. Both manga have a strong, competitive fight-or-die-mentality that permeates every character and decision made. The art styles are very expressive, at times very exaggerated and always very detailed, creating two of the most visually dynamic series currently ongoing.

Comedies about a spy that is trying to blend in society while now having a family.

MCs of both of these manga are undying humans who also meet people similar to them.

Two studentes compete with each other as they try to outsmart the other one while finding it hard to be honest about their romantic feelings. Both are romcoms with some drama mixed in.

Using the story of their memories to tell us the warmth, joyful, and sad things in life with their partner.

Berserk and Vinland Saga both tell a story about war, revenge, and dream. While Vinland Saga story take a form in historical legend of viking in 19th AD, Berserk use the form of dark fantasy to make a good story. What you should suspect from the story is lot of blood; hate, revenge, and redemption; friendship and dream.

Both series starts at the same point which is the bullying of the protagonist. While Misumisou only focuses on the revenge, Juujika no Rokunin emphasizes on the psychology and torture methods. Still, both series delivers a good job at portraying bullied kids that seek vengeance.

Both share a similar premise of spies trying to blend in, and they have similar comedy.

Both show an inisght into how manga is made, however bakuman goes more into how hard it is to make manga and the process of creating the manga, while jump no tadashii leans more into the industry and how the magazine was founded and created weekly.

Both manga follow the story of a MC that has to flee and hide from the government while slowly starting to cooperate and work together with the government.

Kaichou wa maid sama in manga misaki did want everybody know her secret she working to be maid beacuse they poor they need money in aaa in manga aoi did want to know her secret she spying the next school to know they doing and costume boy clothes they same the boy know the girl secret and they same to close each other and like each other

This is an obvious recommendation, but it's obvious for a reason! I think of Jujutsu Kaisen and Chainsaw man as sister mangas, kind of. Besides coming out around the same time, they are extremely similar plotwise and there are a lot of parallells between characters and the roles they play in the story. There are some crucial differences though. CSM is a LOT darker and grittier than JJK, in style and theme. CSM's main character Denji comes from a shitty upbringing and his life gets progressively worse. If you, like me, thought the jujutsu sorcerer kids were having a rough time and wanted them to catch a break, Chainsaw Man will make you tear your hair out. The story might seem like your standard, shallow, punch-slash-explosion-boobs-bloodsplatter shonen manga, but if you want to get into it, the story has a lot of hidden (or not-so-hidden depending on whether you possess basic reading comprehension skills or not) depth! It's got some of the most interesting, sympathetic and honest takes on psychological trauma that I've ever seen. (You can also read it just for the fight scenes and tits if that's your thing, it does that well too!) The characters are also, just like in JJK, wonderful, and despite (or maybe because of) their abrasiveness and moral ambiguity/straight up lack of morals, they are all very charismatic! ty 4 yr time (｀-´)>

Brother is overly protective of his Sister - who is a Vampire and the Brother tries to keep this secret from others. Another thing shared is the close involvement from another Female, which complicates matters for the siblings. Biggest difference is that 'Sister Blood: Gensou no Tsuki to Furueru Chi' has incestuous vibes, whearas 'Fudatsuki no Kyouko-chan?' doesn't.

School themed Supernatural Manga which has a Vampire as a female lead. The female lead's Vampire form is suppressed by a talisman - a rosario in 'Rosario to Vampire' and a ribbon in 'Fudatsuki no Kyouko-chan?.' Another thing shared is that the Male lead acts as both a protector, and a source of replenishment to the Female lead. Biggest difference is that Rosario to Vampire has lots of Ecchi moments, whereas Fudatsuki no Kyouko-chan lacks this.

Both manga are about a couple that's purely sex friends, and an outsider falls in love with the uke. However, the uke says he'll only accept the new guy IF he agrees to have sex with his sex partner as well. Both manga have delicious threesome scenes.

- Idiot but powerful protagonists - both protagonists go on a Journey with friends to meet a Goal - Strong opponents

Same vibes, romance comedy with working places, hearthwarming...

meaning, suffering, existentalism, brilliant worldbuilding through scenery and little events that create a believable and immersive setting both are beautiful and if you like one, you'll probably like the other

Similar length School Manga featuring Female shinobi displaying their skills to infiltrate and recover an item for their clan, eliminating those that oppose them along the way. Both are comedies and have lots of Ecchi-Bordering-on-H moments. 'Ninkoi' has an added harem element which SK lacks.

-Both featuring Martial Arts, -Both have martial exam in their manga -Both teach us not give up quickly to achieve something I can say that Tekken Chinmi 10% better than Yu yu hakusho

- Both are Harem and borderline H - it almost has no plot and is usually a filler and directed to fanservice - random stuff happens (fanservice ftw) - lucky pervert indeed - Similar MC personality (always does his best for others)

If you like useless main characters which the only skill they have is persistence you would like to see tokyo revengers. The main character is just a guy fighting to have his love alive in the future, because he can roll back in time, just like Subaru.

These two manga both have a lot of battle royale moments and both contain a lot of human to monster transformation. The art in both manga are fabulous and similarly dark. The same can be said about the action and horror.

- the girl has to work for support - She makes food and does cleaning and stuff - The boy that lives in the house she works at ( also her classmate) turns out to like her - She disliked him at first

Both are apocalypse manga with a pussy mc that has character development. They are both also about keeping your desires under control

These manga are basically the same except Jagaaaaaan is more action and Sweet Home is more thriller. Also Sweet Home is an apocalypse series while Jagaaaaaan isn't. The rest is very similar.

Both manga are about supressing your desires and using the power of your desire against monsters that couldn't supress their desires

the main characters in both manga get a bunch of chicks because of some spiritual supernatural powers

Main characters follow a very similar path in terms of their main character's overall character progression, both are largely political conflicts with HnK being more fantastical and less complicated than SnK. Both are tragedy stories with large casts of likable characters in some sort of training to stop the bad guys (but are they really as bad as they thought?). HnK seems to being aiming for almost half the length of SnK though, and both have art styles that take getting used to.

Both follow LGBTQ+ characters, more so in Shimanami Tasogare. Both focus on romance with Shimanami Tasogare having a more realistic view on the LGBTQ+ community in general, offering a bunch of view points from different characters with different sexualities and genders. Both have good aspec rep but in Shimanami Tasogare, the aroace character plays a much bigger role and is implied x-gender (term similar to agender or nonbinary, used in Japan). The LGBTQ+ rep in Shimanami Tasogare is: a gay highschool boy (protag), two older gay men who are partners, two lesbian characters in a relationship explored in-manga, a trans man and a middle school kid who's gender questioning (translations use he/him pronouns).

Both follow transgender characters, in Hourou Musuko its a trans boy and a trans girl, while in Kanojo ni Naritai Kimi to Boku its just a trans girl. Both are realistic but I'd say Kanojo ni Naritai Kimi to Boku treats its trans characters much better than Hourou Musuko (considering the trainwreck that are the last couple chapters of Hourou Musuko) since Hourou Musuko is largely a trauma story. Overall, Kanojo ni Naritai Kimi to Boku does a much better job when it comes to gender issues in general, even if Hourou Musuko is much more raw about it. It helps that compared to Hourou Musuko (which started in 2002) , Kanojo ni Naritai Kimi to Boku is from 2018.

Both follow a seemingly average protagonist with some sort of 'genius' aspect. In Monster, its a genius surgeon and in Ajin its a highschool kid with what can be described as a really high IQ. Both protags are fighting an evil genius antag alongside (mostly) likable side characters. Monster's protagonists are all adults while Ajin follows highschoolers and adults, plus the settings are different. Ajin takes place entirely in Japan with some references to places like the United States, and Monster takes place almost entirely in Germany (and Czech Republic). Both are good underdog stories, and I'd say the art in Monster isn't as good as the later Ajin chapters but it's still good. Another pro is that Monster is completed since it's pretty old while Ajin is still ongoing (as I'm writing this).

While these manga are very different from each other in a lot of ways, the plots are both very similar in the fact that both protagonists go through a supernatural change that causes them to get a harem. The comedy is also very similar and pretty good.

When a regular looking guy who looks weak at first glance is actually a strong person who has no equal One Punch and Miner’s Shovel

They share a very similar hero ranking system and society. Both protagonists also share the desire to become heroes, but have different reasons for becoming heroes. There are morally questionable and diverse characters in both series.

Wholesome love stories. If you want a slice of life romance check these out!

In the huge world of typical romantic manga these 2 stories stand out. That’s because: 1. The romance is realistic, the couple is shy, nervous and relatable. 2. There are no villains who try to destroy their love. Purely wholesome stories. 3. These manga will make you remember your loved one(or wish for a girlfriend), ie. they are love inducing. 4. If you love Slice of life + romance, these read these. I guarantee you’ll have fun.

The theme in these two series feels really similar: they are both dark, hedonistic stories about people who gradually become unable to hold back their sexual desire. Thus, if you're more interested in the theme than the plot itself, you might really like the other title. The main difference is that Warau Kyuuketsuki is extremely violent and graphic, while Takato Yamamoto keeps his one-shot pretty subtle and very aesthetic.

I found that reading these at the same time provided me with the strange idea of similarity, though I highly recommend Shissou Nikki it is clearly not a fantasy manga like Dungeons Meshi is but they both lure you in with fun and comedic style of art and story telling and both continue on to get incredibly deep and interesting.

Both Manga has a similar vibe but also different like a bunch of guys and girls and their weird romantic relationships and all the shenanigans they come up with.

Similar ways of storytelling, following the journey of a man passionate about something (swordsmanship, climbing). Both has amazing art, relatable characters, and a large number of chapters that turns from an initial hook into a large journey that's made throughout dozens of encounters and events that are packed into a short amount of chapters (compared to the content). You feel like you're going through the journey of the main characters each step of the way. The main characters, Miyamoto Musashi and Mori Buntarou respectively, feel very similar to each other, having this charisma that's extremely rare to find in other works.

Both main chars have the ability to see super natural beings, and that would greatly affect their daily life. in Mieruko, the hidden world unfold as the story progress, which make reader curious about what happen next while in Natsume, the story flows beautifully, entangling the past and the present. If you are a fan of mystery and horror, Mieruko is highly recommended. Or if you prefer slice of life, Natsume would be the one for you.

Crazy mega violence with lots of crazy shit as well

Both have considerable similarities in the plot. Very similar protagonists.

Same story but different characters

In case you do not know this sereies already, it may differ in its sense of Comedy, but it is aswell something with an evergrowing Harem. So if you really like super big Harems with no real loser either, thats for ya.

When Military + Fantasy = These Manga When they send a soldier into a fantasy world to investigate on how different it is then our own and if it’s a threat or not and also the MC get a Harem

When someone put all their skill points in one particular slot and becomes strong All on Def - Tank Girl All on Inv - Healer Boy

similar story

Both are shonen manga that use a battle formula while replacing battles with some non-combative activity. Both also have similar protagonists; both are cheecky and arrogant but have the wits and ability to back it up.

Relatively short but rich seinen with simplistic character designs and a raw art style. The antagonistic force consists of multiple factions that have differing allegiances and both series explore some of the implications of how their respective supernatural element effects the world, both politically and biologically.

There's a great chemistry between the two main couples. The comedic undertone in each is great and both mangas don't have any triangles or rivals trying to butt in. Their friends are supportive and develop at least a semblance of romance as well. Furare Girl does have ecchi in a couple chapters, but it doesn't hinder the story.

Do you like elf? or Tsundere? .. or both? One of the best (tsundere) elf you can find, comparable to main char of Sousou no Frieren. Both stories have refreshing elements of fantasy, romance and comedy. The art in both these manga are very details and exceptional. Recommend both if you like good and unique story telling.

Main char is extremely strong and oblivious to Boss-level opponents. Both have problem with ugly appearance, unfit to be a hero. Both mangas have original story telling, and gradually getting better as the story progress. For isekai ojisan, if you want a refreshing comedy and romance, give it a try. Its totally addicted in its own way.

The evolution of characters I would say is the most similar, I think that in a way Thorfinn and Musashi are alike, the fights are quite good and personally I think that Vagabond has a better drawing than Vinland Saga which also has an incredible drawing.

When the MC open his eyes and see that the first thing he sees are the NPC from the online game he played are fully alive. A Isekai story that are transported into their VRMMO game. MC are Dark Character (evil looking/dark aura)

One-shots about a duel between students at the game of Magic: the Gathering. Should be of interest to any fan of MtG.

The desolate vibe of both manga reminded me of each other, however where Girls' Last Tour is about having hope in the worst situation, Coffee Moon is just completely bleak and rather disturbing.

The strange and nonsensical happenings of this manga relate to Coffee Moon. Although Shimeji Simulation is more relaxed compared to the bleak atmosphere of Coffee Moon, they both are about weird and strange events.

Supernatural beings that infect several amounts of people and turn them into monsters reflecting their inner most desire? A bunch of realistic and intriguing characters with actual good dialogue? A depressed MC that goes through a great deal of psychological horror and character development? Unnerving and disturbing horror that'll make you question human desire? Both of these series answer the questions above with a fat 𝙔𝙀𝙎. If you took joy in one of these series than I highly recommend you check out the other. Even if you didn't, I still recommend you check out the other since there are major differences in story telling for example. Genre is another example; Sweet Home is more drama thriller while Jagaaaaaan is more of psychological and action series.

Both of these series follow a post-apocalyptic world after a majority of humanity turned into despicable monsters reflecting their own desires. Another thing in common is the wimpy protagonist who goes through heaps of character development. Lastly, both of these series have a rather slow start and really start to shine later on in their respective stories.

Both Manga have a MC that has a power that he got from a Isekai world but he has it in his modern day life. The manga also has the MC meeting people with similarities to each other.

Both stories are based on special abilities obtained by a certain disaster, that involves the characters being sent to a peculiar prison, leading to a lot of action, incredible combats, and interesting characters.

Both are office romances. Kijima-san to Yamada-san Kijima-san can hear peoples inner voices and hears his colleagues inner voice and they develop their relationship as time goes on. Ice Guy and the Cool Female Colleague Himuro is a descendant of a "snow woman" and causes problems to those around him but it also attracted his colleague which developed to a lovely romantic relationship.

Both MC are reincarnated people that have unique skill that was made/given by a god and in there new life they hide the fact of their power and use it to help other or use their previous life to have a better life so they can live peacefully in their 2 chance. It’s just in one manga their is no just thing of another world but a planet which have a fantasy base life.

These two stories tell about main characters that go back to primitive life and trying to survive there. They are also adept in many fields and helping people there with their knowledge about advanced modern technologies.

Story is similar in which one lone guy gets into all kinds of ecchi moments with all the girls around him and they all want him. No other males present in the story.

Magano and Mato function very similarly in which there is a parallel dimension where monsters reside and there are groups trying to defeat those monsters.

Slice of Life + Romance + Comedy + Mystery It is a light romance, which shows the day-to-day life of a couple who begins to live together due to a determined circumstance and over time, a little slowly, the romance between the two goes on sucking, but still there are some mysteries about the female protagonist and the protagonist male is always trying to know more about her and her mysteries

A light, simple and short work of romance that you will want to see the 2 main couples a lot together, but in a way there is a mystery about the main couple's girl and there is a certain problem about them, but you hope they really stay together.

These are not very similar, however they have similarities. - In both the female is a ruler - In both the male lead is a commoner - Both are aiming for romance. In Risou no Himo Seikatsu it's an isekai with court setting with MC taken in as a consort, where some of the focus is their romantic relationship. In Palace Meidi it's historical also with court setting with MC as a servant.

Both are shonen manga with some variety of historical/underdeveloped setting, with main characters aiming to better the world around them through the application of some variety of science, while being supported by strong fighters. Both also feature plots with clashes of ideologies as a central theme.

Both manga have similar artstyles and feature fights won through surprising tricks and strange martial arts.

This 2 manga has a summon MC who the kingdom thought was weak and useless so they threw him away to a land for him to use and the MC married a different species and lives a peaceful life but he get strong allies because the MC is actually the strongest in his Isekai new life

These two series take place in a historical setting. Both of them have a main female character who adept in plant life for their respective field and love to help others. If you enjoy reading these two series and want to dive more, both also adapted from ongoing novels.

Manga so full of nudity and explicit sex it's practically a porn, the protagonist has to deal with augumented humans in fights with high sexual tension.

both are about modern human transported to the past Jin is only one person to 19th century japan zipang is about an entire modern warship to WW2

Adaptations of Danganronpa games which show the story point of view of a different character than a protagonist, offering some bonus scenes that are not present in the original. If you're a fan, maybe check it out. If you're not, you probably shouldn't as those manga summarize the main story rather recklessly.

Both show the daily life of highschool students and the connection with friends and lovers! :)

MC of both Manga are obsessed about underwear. In 'Chu-Bra!!' the MC uses her knowledge about underwear to form a club to help find the right underwear for the wearer. In 'Grangerie' the MC uses underwear as a power-up to defeated similarly equipped enemies and supernatural beings.

* Both include strong leads * Interesting plots, with worlds that involve monsters and such ____________________________________ * This however is able to showcase societal issues like class and how they affect others and also depicts the differing opinions of both sides. Kind of similar to AOT in a way.

When a Healer Hero is mistreated by everyone for being the weakest class that they either abandon or torture them. Kaifuku Jutsushi no Yarinaoshi: Turn back time to redo and change his fate and take revenge on everyone who took part of his torture. Nito no Taida na Isekai Shoukougan: Is a summon/reincarnated that what to change his lifestyle and try to be useful to others but also want to take revenge on the people who looked down on him.

Both are historical shonen battle manga that center around major events in Asian history (Rurouni Kenshin Japanese, Houshin Engi Chinese).

Both are shonen battle manga that deal with the Meiji Restoration, Samurai Usagi being set right before it and Rurouni Kenshin right after it. Swordfighting is also the main form of combat in both.

Both are romcom/ecchi manga with modern technology/social media as a theme.

Both are unconventional shonen battle manga with a horror theme.

Both are basically required reading for anyone who likes the simple yet entertaining style of early 2000s manga. Both get right to the action while still leaving room for character and plot development.

Same author, and a lot of the themes and structural elements overlap. Especially recommended if you liked the slightly creepy panels in this manga, because Neuro has a hell of a lot more where that came from.

In both the female protagonists are sensitive to what the male lead have on their minds. In Kuuki ga "Yomeru" Shinnyuu Shain to Buaisou na Senpai the female can see the emotions as small cute... fluffy balls. Which means she can read the rooms other have problems with reading. This is in a office setting with adults. Mousou Telepathy is in a highschool setting where the female can read the thoughts and fantasies of the male lead. Both are intresting, if you like one you may like the other!

Silly Yakuza men, doing silly things. Hinamatsuri is funnier and more wholesome. Humour is similar, with the same tsukkomi roles.

Similar in that they both have children in very bad situations were they have to think of how to escape/overcome the situation.

Both are shounen ofc. A lot of funny moments too that surely will make u smile :)) And the most important part is the fighting moments.

The mcs from both manga are such men of culture XD Also there's a lot of badass waifu and powerful sensei!!! I keep simping in these manga like omg u guys should read it!

•Force relationship. •The MC have crush on her childhood friend. •Both MC and heroine is hate each other but the more their hate each other the more they develope their fillings.

Both MC is given a chance to "reset" their lives and takes revenge.

Both have main characters in their twenties enjoying doing cosplay and attending anime conventions.

both series deal with broken young girls with family problems who turn to troubled older men for support.

the stories are different, but both series are about girls entangled with older men through some twisted circumstances and dealing with dark stuff later on.
